After graduating with a degree in Law and Accounting from Manchester University in 1987, I spent almost 20 years as a fund manager for private and institutional pension funds. As a consequence, I have an in-depth knowledge of the Investments market and understand the importance of having a long term investment strategy with an aim to increase and protect one’s long term wealth.

Since joining St. James's Place, I have focused on providing advice to individuals to achieve or maintain financial security. I see my approach as one of problem-solving for my clients and giving advice upon which they can make financial decisions, rather than just product-selling. As a result, my clients can expect to receive the most comprehensive advice at all times.

I am committed to ensuring that my industry knowledge remains relevant and current by placing strong emphasis on my continuing professional development. This, along with the dedication that I give to developing solid personal relationships with my clients, ensures that am I able offer a rounded, professional and principled service.

Outside of work, I enjoy cycling and wine although generally not at the same time.

The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested.
